i have a similar fascination with the possibilities of math - i guess if you really love art you have to. too bad i have no short term memory! when i was in school i couldn't remember the first half of the equation by the time i got to the end of it!!!!!

LOVE anything that appears on those Franchi seed packets. they are so bodacious!

I still remember the first time I saw that vegetable - it was in Rome, where it's just called "cauliflower". What a wonderful vegetable, nothing like its pale cousin that is available at the grocery stores worldwide! And, hmm, mathematical fascination? Perhaps I haven't eaten enough romanescos~ :)

Funny coincidence! I made some investigation on Fibonacci, logarythmic spirals and the golden numbers for my history of art class last week. We're studying neoclassicism now and the mathematical organisations of compositions in artworks, and it's quite amazing how obsessive artists could be with maths...Did you know nautilus, sunflower seeds or daisy seeds grow according to logarythmic spirals? That is, in fibonacci successions.And plant leaves, and tree branches also do.And flowers like roses always have a fibonacci number of petals
